The premise of HBO's hour-long special "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V4q-zb2iI4">Talking Funny</a>" <small>[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_L5mYlxlXE&feature=related">Part 2</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc6WbrOoe8I&feature=related">3</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfwZSFsnm9c&feature=related">4</a>]</small> is simple: invite four top-ranked comedians — Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Louis C.K. — turn on the cameras, and let them talk shop for an hour. There are laughs, of course, but the most interesting parts focus on the technical craft of getting those laughs. <a href="http://observersroom.designobserver.com/oblog/post/seven-things-designers-can-learn-from-stand-up-comics/27038/">Michael Bierut didn't tune in looking for lessons for designers, but he found seven</a>. <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/tags/louisck">LouisCK previously</a>
